Large work from small elements, carefully disposed -
The evolution of the work over time (and space) -
Marian Bijlenga's work has been described as "a calligraphy of shadows" -
Some of her materials are cotton, paper, horsehair - as in
this "pojagi grid" -
and fish scales (from
here) -
Her book
Written Weed was published in 2010. Images made of dried leaves, grasses, and seeds look like exquisite writing (photo from

This works are very interesting, poetic and lovely. Thanks
I love Marian Bijlenga's work and I have her book Written Weed, which reminds me I haven't looked at it for some time. Her work reminds of scribbly gum, Fred Williams markings on his canvasses- just marks and things suspended in space.
